Fine formula and explanation is perfect.

- Sound
In summary, sound is a form of energy created by vibrations that can be heard by our ears. It is produced when an object vibrates, causing air particles to vibrate and create sound waves. The speed of sound varies but is approximately 343 meters per second in air at room temperature. Our ears detect sound waves and transmit them to our brain, which interprets them as sound. The loudness and pitch of sound are affected by factors such as amplitude and frequency of the sound wave, as well as distance, medium, and temperature.

What is sound?
Sound is a form of energy that is produced by vibrations and can be heard by our ears.
How is sound created?
Sound is created when an object vibrates, causing the air particles around it to also vibrate and create sound waves that travel to our ears.
What is the speed of sound?
The speed of sound varies depending on the medium it travels through, but it is approximately 343 meters per second in air at room temperature.
How do we hear sound?
Our ears detect sound waves and transmit them to our brain, which interprets them as sound.
What factors affect the loudness and pitch of sound?
The loudness of sound is affected by the amplitude of the sound wave, while the pitch is determined by the frequency of the sound wave. Other factors such as distance, medium, and temperature can also affect sound.
